Chapter 179 Let You Touch It
```
The straw hat farmer was taken aback, unable to react at first, and quickly pocketed the 250 yuan before calling to the boatman to get the boat ready. It was quite a large boat, with a deck big enough for seven or eight people to lie down on. The deck was already lined with straw mats where one could lie down directly.
Liu Xiaolei's mouth curved into a mischievous smile, and she said with a grin, "Xiao Han, this boat is quite big. It would be so comfortable to lie on the deck and sunbathe!"
Xiao Han stood on the deck while a boatman behind him laboriously used a bamboo pole to push off the dock, the large and cumbersome wooden boat moving slowly through the water.
The boatman stood at the rear of the cabin, his view limited to the area in front of the boat and unable to see the deck, but even without sight, there was no need to worry about any boating accidents on such a vast lake.
The boat moved slowly, gliding through the Reed Marsh, where tall reeds topped with tender green buds suggested the transition from late spring to early summer – that sprawling expanse of reed marsh seemed like a verdant ocean, offering a distinct early summer vibe.
Xiao Han stood at the bow, watching as the reeds on both sides brushed past. They swiftly swept by his shoulders.
The boatmen, familiar with the routes here, navigated with ease. They probably could go through even with their eyes closed, understanding the rhythm needed to control the boat and knowing where to slow down to enjoy the scenery and where to swiftly pass by.
The view of the reed marsh was enchanting, especially as one emerged from the reeds to the vast calm of the lake's center, its beauty almost breathtaking.
The blue surface of the lake was dotted with a few clouds as white as cotton. Those clouds seemed to float in the clear water of the lake.
"Stop, no more moving forward," Liu Xiaolei called out urgently.
The boatman immediately ceased his actions, and the boat glided smoothly on the tranquil lake towards the center. Compared to the vastness of the lake, the boat seemed no more than a leaf floating on the water.
"It's so beautiful!" Liu Xiaolei held her breath, her hands cupping her nose, as though the clear waters below housed ancient deities, and she feared that her voice and breath might accidentally disturb them.
"Yeah, it's incredibly beautiful," Xiao Han couldn't help being awed by the lake's mirror-like waters.
Looking carefully into the crystal-clear water below, one could clearly see fish swimming freely, schools of fish moving joyfully in the water – clustering towards the bow at times and scattering at others like a group of Little Spirits with a mind of their own.
Liu Xiaolei knelt on the deck, her knees on the mats, holding onto a nearby column with one hand while leaning forward curiously to observe the underwater world.
Beneath the clear waters were dense water plants. These plants, in clusters and tufts, seemed to form an underwater labyrinth, an undersea realm. They provided a habitat, a playground for the adorable fish.
The underwater world was beautiful, and the fish were swimming happily.
Liu Xiaolei's bright, twinkling eyes were fixed on the fascinating underwater world, it seemed like an exceptionally beautiful and exciting realm. She had been watching for a long time without blinking. Xiao Han cautioned her, "Be careful not to fall in."
"I won't!" Liu Xiaolei shook her head and said, "Even if I fell in, it wouldn't be so bad. I'd turn into a fish and swim around. I'm curious to see what it's like down there."
"Then you'd become a mermaid!" Xiao Han's mouth lifted into a smile.
Liu Xiaolei quickly stood up, hugging Xiao Han, and said, "I just love it when you say things like that."
Caught off guard by Liu Xiaolei's embrace, Xiao Han was somewhat at a loss. His face flushed red as he said awkwardly, "I... I just think you're beautiful!"
"Do you like me?" Liu Xiaolei asked with a beaming smile.
"I do!" Xiao Han hurriedly nodded. As he looked down, his gaze landed on Liu Xiaolei's voluptuous chest, which was extremely tempting. Saliva nearly dripped from his mouth as he swiftly turned his head to the side, unable to bear looking at her snow-white allure.
Liu Xiaolei giggled, "Little pervert, all talk and no guts, do you want a feel?"
"No... no!" Xiao Han quickly shook his head.
"Really? You don't want it?" Liu Xiaolei chuckled.
"I..." Xiao Han hesitated. He glanced around and noticed the boatman squatting at the stern, smoking a dry pipe. Xiao Han quickly nodded and said, "Really... Can I really have a feel?"
"Do you want to?" Liu Xiaolei asked with a teasing smile.
"Yes, I do!" Xiao Han nodded eagerly.
"Get out of here, you little wolf!" Liu Xiaolei's expression suddenly changed, and she gave him a stern look, adding, "Look what's on your mind? You're such a lecher, your mind's not clean."
```
Criticized by Liu Xiaolei like that, Xiao Han immediately felt extremely embarrassed.
Seeing Xiao Han looking so awkward, Liu Xiaolei instantly found it amusing. She hurriedly moved closer and said, "Forget about it, I'll let you touch it!"
"No, no, no, I wouldn't dare!" Xiao Han quickly stepped back, having learned his lesson from earlier, where would he dare to reach out now? He had just nodded in agreement verbally, only to be scolded by her. Now she actually came over and offered to let him touch, it might be another trap. No one knew if she would break his hand bones the moment he reached out to touch.
"Coward!" Liu Xiaolei huffed, and then said, "Go, get the bag, I want to have a picnic on the deck."
"Okay!" Xiao Han nodded.
Liu Xiaolei's bag was heavy, filled with plenty of food, including boxed fruits, various snacks, and boxed meals. There were also four 500ml cans of beer. Xiao Han placed it on the deck, Liu Xiaolei sat on the mat woven of straw on the deck, a very clean mat. It was cleaned every day, and any damage or stains would be replaced immediately.
The two sat down. Liu Xiaolei took a can and said, "Come on, let's drink!"
"Let's have some food!" Xiao Han chuckled.
So there they sat on the deck, drinking beer, eating braised meat and other marinated delicacies, various snacks. Liu Xiaolei sat with her legs askew, her slender legs, smooth skin, and perfectly shaped, giving an aesthetically pleasing impression. Holding a marinated pig's trotter in one hand and a beer in the other, she laughed, "Eating meat in big bites, drinking in big gulps, that's the life!"
"Drink!" Xiao Han was excited as they toasted to celebrate.
"This is a good life," Liu Xiaolei couldn't help reflecting, then added, "I don't understand why I insisted on staying in Shenzhen back then. Life is so good here at home, and coupled with such beautiful scenery, it feels like happiness."
"Right!" Xiao Han agreed, saying, "Life doesn't have to be about being so successful, having a stable job is enough. Finding a city to grow old in, finding someone to share it with, wouldn't that be comfortable?"

As she spoke, Liu Xiaolei laughed, "Easier said than done, though, people always compare."
"That's true!" Xiao Han nodded, saying, "If people didn't compare, the world wouldn't be as beautiful as it is."
The blue sky, akin to an immense dome of The Sky, breathtakingly beautiful.
After finishing their food, they cleaned up a bit, collecting the trash in a bag and placing it in the trash can in the cabin, which the boatman would take away for disposal once ashore. A place this beautiful, if carelessly polluted by trash, that would be a real loss. Moreover, this was absolutely a gift from God to the citizens of LJ City, a masterpiece by God.
Incredibly beautiful, a feast for the eyes.
Xiao Han's lips curled into a smile, he grinned and said, "What a beautiful place."
"Yes!" Liu Xiaolei nodded, and the two sat back to back. The boat stayed still on the water while several other boats ventured in and stopped in this beautiful, sacred place, curiously observing the lovely sanctuary. Liu Xiaolei laughed, "Such a captivating view."
"Indeed, it's so enchanting," Liu Xiaolei nodded.
"Really beautiful," Xiao Han smiled.
They sat on the deck, backs against each other, savoring this rare and beautiful moment.
Before long, they lay down, lying on the comfortable deck, could feel the baptism of the azure sky when eyes opened. Closing their eyes, they could bask in the warmth of the sunlight. Such is the joy of life.
Letting the soul roam free, drifting. Floating over the beautiful lake as if a small boat carried two souls wandering in the depths of space. It was incredibly translucent and exhilarating, as if the soul was being cleansed and the heart irrigated!
Liu Xiaolei kept her legs together, stretching out her long thighs, her black skirt covering her legs. Her hands resting on her chest, the curls of her chest rising proudly, like a pair of imposing peaks. Side by side they lay, in a world of blue seas and skies, like a beautiful painting.
Silently they lay together, letting their souls wander across the vast lake, absorbing the beauty of nature, appreciating the most beautiful gift from God. Such a breathtaking painting could not let down the kindness from above.
Xiao Han's heart stirred, and curiously, he turned to look at Liu Xiaolei beside him.
Her eyes closed, long eyelashes like twin brushes, her delicate face adorned with a straight nose and cherry-red lips. Xiao Han turned his body, staring at the beautiful girl beside him.
God had given humanity such a beautiful gift, but also gifted him with such a beautiful present.
Liu Xiaolei must not fail to appreciate the kindness of God, and neither could Xiao Han. He leaned over, planting a gentle peck on Liu Xiaolei's face. Her cheeks flushed, but she did not open her eyes; instead, she whispered, "You rascal, lie down properly, stop fantasizing. Now is the time for the soul to be in exile. Don't disturb the deities living here, or you'll be in trouble!"
